Questions

Before you choose

What you get, what you pay, how it renews, and how to stop it.

What do I get with Free, and what does Premium add?

Free gives you the complete JLPT N5 curriculum, hiragana and katakana with unlimited kana writing, spaced repetition, and progress tracking, plus writing practice on 5 kanji a day and 5 personal practice sessions a day, with ads. Premium adds the complete N4, N3, N2, and N1 curriculum, unlocks every study activity across the five levels, makes kanji writing and personal practice unlimited, and removes the ads. Premium is the only paid plan, and it works on the website and in the iPhone and Android apps with the same account.

How much does Premium cost?

In your region, Premium costs US$5.99 per month or US$29.99 per year. Prices vary by region, and the annual plan costs less than twelve monthly payments. The exact total, with any tax, is shown before you confirm.

Does Premium renew automatically, and how do I cancel?

Yes. Premium is a subscription: it renews automatically at the end of each period, every month or every year depending on what you chose, until you cancel. On the website, cancel from Dashboard › Subscription › Manage subscription. A plan bought in the iPhone or Android app is cancelled in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for: you keep Premium until then, nothing more is charged, and your progress stays saved.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of your first payment, without giving a reason. For a plan bought on the website or in the Android app, use “Withdraw from contract here” on your subscription page or write to us from the contact page, and we refund the full amount to the payment method you used. Purchases made in the iPhone app are refunded by Apple, at reportaproblem.apple.com. After 14 days, a period that has started is not refunded, but you can cancel to stop the next renewal. Your learning history is never deleted.

Is tax included in the price?

In the European Union, the price shown includes VAT at your country's rate, and a business can enter its VAT number at checkout: the VAT is then removed and the invoice is issued under the reverse charge. In Canada, GST and QST are added at checkout and shown before you confirm. In the United States, no sales tax is added today, and an American business pays the same price as anyone else, because US sales tax has no reverse charge. If a state ever requires us to collect it, the amount will appear before you confirm.

Who charges me, and what appears on my statement?

Aaronsan is operated by Manda SENC, a general partnership established in Québec, Canada, at 418, avenue des Pins Ouest, suite 40, Montréal (Québec) H2W 1S2. On the website, our secure payment provider processes the payment on our behalf and accepts the major credit and debit cards; the charge appears as Aaronsan, and you receive a receipt by email. In the iPhone app Apple charges you, and in the Android app Google charges you, each under its own terms. We never see or store your card number.

How does Aaronsan decide when to show a card again?

Aaronsan schedules reviews with modern spaced repetition. Every time you answer, it updates how solid that memory is and brings the card back just before you would have forgotten it. Cards you know well come back rarely and the ones you struggle with come back quickly, so your study time goes where it actually makes a difference. It works the same way for vocabulary, kanji, grammar, listening and reading, and it is included in the Free plan as well as in Premium.

How do I reach support?

Use the contact page on the website. Write from the email address of your account and, for a purchase made in the Android app, add the Google Play order number, which starts with GPA. We usually reply within two business days.

JLPT preparation and Aaronsan's role

Aaronsan is an independent application. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Japan Foundation or Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (JEES), the organizations that jointly administer the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).

Aaronsan is designed to make memorizing and reviewing kanji, vocabulary, grammar, and other useful N5–N1 knowledge faster. It does not replace a structured Japanese course. Meaning, nuance, context, listening, reading, and real communication must be developed through teaching, explanation, and practice. Use Aaronsan as a study companion alongside your Japanese course and JLPT preparation.

The content is designed to support preparation across N5–N1, but no application or plan can guarantee a passing grade, score, or certification. Results depend on each learner's work and circumstances. Aaronsan is not responsible for exam results or for changes to official JLPT content, format, dates, or rules.
